Like obviously for gameplay it’s to unlock the secret ending but in terms of the lore, why do we consume the umbilical cords and why does it grant us protection from the Moon Presence? Why not just hold onto them, why does the Hunter look at them and think “Mhm yummy!”
I’ve never played this game and just encountered the post in all. I was expecting some raised-in-a-cult logic and for OP to be super relieved.
